Thanks to you all and BYE...

Unki Pasand...
Main khushi se chehekti huyi pahunchi unke paas, aur unhe dikhaane lagi apne mehendi-bhare haath... Ungliyon se hatheli tak, aur aage upar kalaayi tak Surkh laali se saje the mere haath... Jaise kisi shehenshah ke junoon ki gawaah koi imaarat par ki gayi maheen naqqaashi... ya laaj se simti dulhan ke libaas par ki gayi ho Bangaal ki mashoor kaariga... more...

Khoya-khoya chaand...
Raat hai amaavasya ki, to kya?Aisa nahi hai ki chaand aasmaan mein nahi hai... Kuchh waqt ka taqaaza hai Ya haalaat kuchh nazuk-se... Bas duniya ki nazron se door hai chaand, Aur koi nahi dekh sakta use... Bas kuch lamhon ka intezaar hai Idhar se udhar ho jayegi duniya Aur dikhayi degi chaand ki ek chhoti-si jhalak...Aasmaan bhi muskuraa dega, Use ... more...

Kal raat main chhat par gayi thi Khule aasmaan mein chaand aur taare kuchh gap-shap kar rahe the Aur main taakti jaa rahi thi apalak...Behes chhid gayi chaand aur taare mein - Chaand ne kaha:"dekho, woh nihaar rahi hai Mera sthir ujlaa roop, tumhara kaampta astitva nahi", Taare ne kaha:"nahi, woh banna chaahti hai meri tarah Durgam, na ki tumhari t... more...
